    Entry number 277922

    This entry is a followup to: 277704

    keyword=remove adaql3 halogscript cron / doc of failure mech.

    I removed the crontab entry on adaql3 for halogscript since I'm on
    site now.

    I think I know what happened last night: there is a rare failure mode
    (not understood) whereby halog stops updating and the solution is to
    execute the halogscript by hand, which Alex did. That "wakes it up".

    On adaql1 as "adaq" account: /home/adaq/halog/src/halogscript

    Doc on other rare failure modes:

    - Won't update beyond a particular entry. The script chokes on files
    of the form #file# generated by emacs. Remove them; avoid emacs editing.

    - Entry numbers restart at "1". Solution:
    echo "277921" > /u/home/adaq/halog/src/locks/LastLogNumber
    where 277921 is last log number.
    (may need to remove the above file first)
